From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

During approach pilot was too high and to fast, when pilot executed go-around engine did not respond. Pilot elected to force aircraft to the runway at high speed with a high degree of vertical drop. Aircraft bounced twice. On second contact with runway, the aircraft nose gear collapsed. An inspection of the engine could not identify any condition that would casue the engine to hestitate. On Thursday July 30, 1998, inspector ed pottle of the dupage FSDO conducted an incident inspection at sangor airport, sangor Illinois. The aircraft was a Cessna, model 206-P206, sn:504-76055, N2596X. The aircraft had attempted to go around after a high and fast approach. When the pilot tried to apply power there was no response from the engine. The engine did not quit but did not respond to a full power application. The result was a hard landing that collapsed the nose gear and damaged the propeller, nose gear, bottom engine cowl, and right wing tip. The engine was inspected and found to have oil, fuel, and compression. The propeller could be turned by hand, indicating that the engine had not seized. The right fuel tank was full and the left tank was half full. All the flight controls responded properly and the control surfaces moved correctly.
